kitchen thingy WTF is it?

i found this at the local flea market for $5, its not a meat grinder as i can tell. its front load the cork screw turns clockwise with the little end to the crank and a removable screen. its labeled Standard-Werk with a 100 on the funnel.

Someone has to know what this is.

Standard-Werk from I what I found is an Austrian company that makes hand cranked tools.

@FarmerJamie -the internet was not useful for me the only thing i could find online under standard werk was meat grinders

@Wannabefree - might be


it has a small opening in the back with a hand screw could be for pulp.

i will have to try

it does suck at making fresh ground coffee.

KitchenAide makes a "food grinder" that squishes tomatoes and such for juicing. That's why I thought maybe a juicer type gadget. It looks fairly similar to the KitchenAide thing with the placement of the funnel and spout.

I agree with Cindi, looks like a juicer

Looks like you might have a poppy seed grinder -- http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vtg-standardwerk-austria-poppy-seed-20942353 -- http://www.etsy.com/listing/99693213/chippy-yellow-czechoslovakian-poppy-seed?ref=&sref=

this doesn't work as a grinder of coffee or seed. i gave it a try and it did grind coffee but it pushed it all out the back. i'll try juicing with it this weekend.

Just try throwing some assorted things in there and see what it does. Hotdogs, apple, whole pecans, cabbage. Process of elimination!
